Forest Park man charged in death of Burlington mother and son

A Forest Park man was arrested Thursday and charged in the deaths of Kelli Kramer and her 9-year-old son Aiden Kramer in Burlington last month, officials said.

Joshua Ward, 48, is charged with two counts of murder.

The Boone County Sheriff's Office issued a warrant for Ward arrest Wednesday. Ward was apprehended by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office in Ohio Thursday morning.

Kramer, 31, and Aiden were found dead in a Burlington apartment on March 20, according to the Boone County Sheriff's Office. They were both shot in multiple times in their heads and torsos, investigators said.

"Our investigation revealed Ward was involved in an intimate relationship with Kelli beginning in December 2016 and ending abruptly in May 2017," Boone County officials said in a press release. "Ward believed Kramer was responsible for destroying him."

Ward is currently being held in the Hamilton County Detention Center awaiting extradition to Kentucky.
